This is Hello, the National Competition on Issues.
(Wow!)
We have a very special guest for today.
He is the mentor for comedians.
Here is Jeon Yu-seong﻿.
(Jeon Yu-seong﻿, the mentor of comedy)
- Here is Oh Na-mi﻿. - Hello.
You became prettier.
Jeon Yu-seong﻿ lives in Cheongdo﻿, Gyeongbuk.
He's been living there.
- He was in the Dog or Cow Concert. - Right.
He also nurtures junior comedians.
Jeon Yu-seong is also...
someone who has the solutions for every question in life.
- What are you talking about? - Why not?
It's because when I owned a barbecue restaurant,
I asked him what my restaurant sign should be. This is what you immediately said.
You said it should be "Yeong-ja Nation, Let's Go Pigs."
- That name came from him. - Really?
Now that this topic came up,
does Na-mi have any questions for him?
- This will be immediate questions and answers. - Ask away.
I have a hard time saying no when someone asks me for a favor.
You'll never fix that.
She'll never fix it!
- You'll never fix it. - What will you do?
I'll ask one more question then.
- What shall I do to capture a man's heart? - Fix your face.
Pardon?
- You need to fix it. - Of course.
That's it.
- Now... - That was so refreshing.
With Heo Kyung-hwan, we're not sure...
- if it's a real marriage or not. - Nowadays I feel like he likes you more.
He was very disgusted with me at first.
He'd jump back even if I got a little closer.
- He looked genuinely shocked. - Lately, he's been approaching me first.
- He shows affection through touch? - Yes, he does.
When I'm not right in front of him, he calls out my name.
- He keeps looking for me. - Next to you, there's Tae-joon.
He's more handsome than Heo Kyung-hwan, right?
- He really is handsome. - Who would you choose between Tae-joon and Kyung-hwan?
- What if you had to choose? - I'm younger, you know.
- What do I do? - Hey, miss.
- Hey, Tae-joon. - It's that reaction.
Older women don't like it when you call them miss. Just be informal.
Hey, Na-mi.
- What do I do? - What if you had to choose?
- He's so handsome. What do I do? - You seem unable to.
- Pardon? - You can't just choose right away?
- You mean me? - Heo Kyung-hwan and...
I can choose.
(It's me, right?)
(Say it already!)
- Heo Bong is still... - Of course.
(She is a woman of single-hearted devotion.)
I am devoted to only him.
Last week, "The Worst Guy In My Life" had its first victory.
It's my husband.
He doesn't work and drinks up all the drinks in our pub.
- Do you have any days of break during the month? - No, I don't.
- You don't have any days of break? - What about for your parents' birthdays?
- I only transferred money to them on those days. - Oh no!
Both of us are being too greedy with our own agendas.
- You leave the pub all the time to drink. - Wait a moment...
- Did your husband change much? - Your back was so bad,
- you couldn't even be on the slide. - He gave me four days of break.
- He gave you four days of break? - Yes.
- Does that mean he didn't drink and ran the pub? - Yes.
Sir, did you not drink even once?
Yes, I didn't drink.
After last episode's filming,
I felt so ashamed and felt sorry.
I'm going to be a well-behaved person from now on.
It seems like you were really shocked.
- It's a great thing that you appeared on our show. - It's a blessing.
(We hope you make a happy household.)
Will this issue win its second victory today?
We will continue to anticipate.
- What's the prize? - We will give the winner a 1,000-dollar gift certificate.
This issue is titled, "My Husband Was Stolen."
"Hello."
"I'm a housewife who's been married for five years. I'm unable to sleep."
(Sighing)
- He's really good at it, right? - Yes.
"The hour that my husband comes home..."
"is getting later and later into the night."
"He'd come home at 1am on 1 day. The next day, he came home at 3am."
"The day after that, he came at 7am in the morning."
"'What have you been doing? Why are you coming home now?'"
"'Do you have another woman?'"
"'Do I have to spell it out?'"
"'I was playing golf. I'm just coming back from playing golf!'"
"My husband is so obsessed with golf he can't tell left from right."
"'My dear, what should we do for this vacation?'"
"'Should we go for water sports? Should we watch a movie?'"
"'What do you mean movies? On hot days like this,'"
"'screen golfing is the best. I'll be going now.'"
"My husband spent all six days of summer break at the screen golfing place."
"I also had to stay home for the whole duration of summer break."
"It's already been two years that I've lived a solitary life."
"Please help my husband, cheating on me with golf, get a grip."
(Who is the one whose husband was stolen by golf?)
(Ahn Chae-hee)
Please go take her hand.
So there were six days of break and...
he only played screen golf for all of those days?
It was almost a week-long break at the start of August.
- It was a very hot summer this year. - It was really hot.
It was so hot so I wanted to go play in water,
have a date at the movie theater where it's cool, but...
he went where there was an air-conditioner fully on.
He spent six days at the screen golf place.
Does that mean you were just home for all of six days?
Yes, I really spent a solitary time.
- I would've gotten annoyed and gone somewhere. - Is he like that also on holidays?
- Yes, even on holidays... - Pardon?
he sends me to the house of my in-laws...
and he just briefly greets people there before he leaves to play golf.
- That happened. - I'm also a guy and yet I'm so annoyed for some reason.
How many times does he play golf in a week?
He plays more than five times in a week.
Is he a professional golf player?
I also thought he was a national representative athlete or something.
- The amount of time he spends practicing... - He must have worn our national flag.
Is he Park In-bee?
- After he leaves work... - When does he leave work?
- I guess it's around 8:30pm. - Right, so he leaves work and...
- He begins playing at 9pm. - He goes to play golf right after work.
If it's really extreme, he'd even come home at 5 or 6am.
- What about weekends? - He'd nap for a little bit and...
he'd play from 1:30pm until 9pm.
If he plays 1 more game, he plays until midnight or 1am.
- He's like that even on weekends? - Then when is he ever with his wife?
We're a married couple but there's never time to see each other's face.
I wonder if he's actually my husband.
Even when he's ill and I tell him to go to the hospital, he says....
he must play golf to relax his body.
- He goes to the golf course again. - It's an addiction.
Even when I'm laying down because I have a cold,
he tells me to sleep and sneaks out to play golf.
He must say,"You look like you're a little better," and then leaves.
Is golf the only thing he's been into? What about in the past?
- Even when we were dating I knew he really likes ball games. - He likes sports.
Yes, so he liked soccer, bowling, and even table tennis.
He's good at all of them. We went overseas for our honeymoon.
So he turned on the TV, but...
since there's nothing else to watch, he watched soccer the whole time.
- He watched soccer during the honeymoon? - Yes.
- He did that for the whole duration of the honeymoon? - Yes.
We'll meet the husband who's very into golfing. Hello!
(Who is the husband who plays golf more than five times per week?)
He has a good body.
Due to people...
keep looking at him aghast,
he's a little awkward and cautious right now.
You didn't go to play golf today, I see.
I'm going to go after we're done filming.
- Really? - You're going after we're done filming?
The guys I play sports with are already playing golf right now.
- They are playing right now? - Yes.
- Why? - Do you really play golf five times per week?
Yes, I think I play more than five times per week.
Right, I bet you sometimes play all day for 6 or 7 days.
Then do all the guys you play golf with...
play 5 or 6 days per week?
Yes, they do. Since there's no work on Saturdays and Sundays,
we play no matter what on those days.
If you play more than five times per week,
to be honest, the members there cannot be the same every day. You always go, but...
- the others change from day to day, right? - Yes, there are eight in our group.
There are times when 4 members get together or 5 members do.
- You're the only one with perfect attendance, right? - Yes, that's pretty much it.
That's why this is an issue.
- If you play into the morning, you must be tired the next day. - What about work?
To be honest, there were times when I worked while crying.
- I've worked while crying because my eyes hurt. - Oh, because your eyes hurt?
What was amazing, however, was that when it's near the end of the day...
and I think about golfing, my eyes brightened up again.
(His stamina grows just at the thought of golf.)
- You said there were times when he played until 7am. - Yes.
What is the great charm of golf that makes you play it that much?
I think people who played screen golf would know, but...
there's a sound effect every time you hit a ball. There's an explosive sound.
My stress is relieved by that sound effect.
Why do you have so much stress? Specifically name three causes.
- What is the first? - The first is how the weather is so hot nowadays.
- It's hot, okay. What's the second? - That's the same for everyone.
- I also get a lot of stress from work. - Which things cause stress?
- There are some worries I have about my household. - Did you say "worries"?
If you're so worried, come home early.
(If you're worried, just go home quickly!)
Shouldn't you spend some time with your wife?
You've only been married for five years.
- You're not some weekend couple. - As her husband,
when I come home I see her face every night before I sleep.
I see her face every night before I sleep.
You just look at her sleeping?
You just check that she's sleeping?
- I see. You just don't often see her with her eyes open. - Right.
Is your wife pretty when she's asleep or when she's awake?
I think she's prettier when she's asleep.
Is there anything you do to take care of her as the husband?
Is there anything you do for her at least?
There's a monthly competition at the screen golf place.
The 1st place prize is about 300 dollars.
I always give her about half of that.
- She was really happy when I did that. - Why didn't you mention that?
- He gave you some prize money. - Why did you leave out the talk about money?
Who'd hate it when someone wins prize money?
- Receiving money always makes one happy. - Of course.
I see him for such a short amount of time during the day, so...
even if I get money from him, it's only good in that moment.
It didn't compensate. Money couldn't compensate for what I felt in my heart.
- Of course. - Since there was so little time of seeing each other,
I suggested one day that we go on a date during the weekend.
- Right, you need to do that sometimes. - Yes.
I planned for us to have dinner at 6pm and then...
- go watch a movie at 7pm or 8pm. - That'd be perfect.
There's time before that, right?
He went to play golf during those hours.
It's because he has free time until 6pm.
- So I got ready and I was waiting. - You were waiting right on time.
He should be coming home but he wasn't so I called him.
- He's so into it that he couldn't leave. - I asked when he's coming.
He said, "My dear, give me just 30 minutes. I'll go home right after I finish this."
- That's another hour. - He can't come.
That made me even more angry.
"Forget it. Let's just not go on a date today."
At moments like that you shouldn't say, "Forget it. I don't need it."
You might feel better but your husband...
will be happier about it than you.
You have to keep pressuring him.
- That's right. - "When are you coming?"
You have to make him suffer mentally.
- Dong-yeob is correct, right? - Yes.
See, I told you.
Not coming back after promising your wife that you would...
- doesn't seem right. - That was too much.
If four players play together,
it takes about an hour per person.
It takes about four hours but during the middle of a game...
another person will appear.
If they join in, we have to play from the beginning.
This extends the duration of the game.
If four people are playing, then you can substitute for the new player.
- Exactly. - Right.
I can't because it's a game.
Sometimes it was for a competition, so I couldn't do that.
Okay, who is the person next to you?
I'm a friend who has known her for a long time. My name is Oh Eun-yeong.
Did you realize that her issue was serious enough to bring to Hello?
Yes. When her husband goes to play golf in the weekend,
she has a lot of free time alone.
I also want to hang out with my friends or my boyfriend.
She always seems to join us on our dates as well.
- She's lonely, so she asks if she can join you? - Yes.
My boyfriend always looks at me strangely when this happens.
- This has also become an issue for me. - I see.
When does she feel the most lonely?
One time, she rang me at 4am in the morning.
She said she was so angry and asked if I could come out to talk.
- Gosh. - She once called me like that.
What exactly happened?
I'm always waiting. It's always the same.
- You don't sleep and wait for him? - Yes, I sometimes fall asleep while I wait.
Like when you win prize money,
he told me that he has to treat the people he was playing with.
That's the etiquette.
- The winner has to treat the team. - Yes.
When he treats them, they have to drink and play golf again.
It never ends. That's when I call him.
I tell him to come home but he replies that everyone is having a good time...
so he'll just play one more round. So, he plays more because he's happy.
He doesn't consider my feelings.
- That was 4am in the morning? - Yes.
- Did you meet your friend? - Yes, I waited in front of her house.
- She was so frustrated. - I think you should play less golf.
Playing 5 to 6 days a week is a lot.
Can't you play less and spend more time with your wife?
I feel closed in when we're together.
- Why? - You feel closed in?
It's just that my wife likes crowded places like Myeongdong.
I went with her once.
I can't stand going to places where there lots of people.
- Well, then you can go to places where there are no people. - Go see a movie.
To be honest, I don't talk a lot...
so when I go somewhere with my wife, we have to go with friends.
Since I don't talk a lot, it's too quiet when it's just us two.
- So we can't go to places together. - Do you talk a lot when you play golf?
Yes. I talk a lot about topics that I'm confident about.
Then...
When I go to the golf course,
they give me boiled eggs, sandwiches, and coffee.
The golf course is also very cool.
I find that the golf course is more comfortable than my home.
The golf course is more comfortable than your home?
(Is that something you should be saying in front of your wife?)
(That was harsh.)
- Goodness. - How do you feel when your husband says that to you?
I'm not a very good cook, so I do understand that part.
- You could work on it. - Even though I don't cook everything,
I wait for him so we can at least eat ramen together.
When he comes back, it's already 11pm or 12am. The same thing keeps happening,
- It would be annoying. - so I don't want to cook for him.
Why would I want to cook for a husband...
- who comes home late after having fun? - It's also bedtime.
Be honest.
- Right. - Tell us why you don't come home even when she's cooked dinner.
The reason I don't go home is because of the two cats.
(Why is he talking about cats?)
- We have two cats at home. - What?
- Cats? - Yes.
I promised my wife...
that she could raise cats because I need to play sports.
You can raise cats, I'll go outside and play sports.
- That's why I don't go home. - You don't go home because of cats?
- That doesn't make sense. - She's not eating alone, she has two cats.
Do you hate cats that much?
Do you think the cats are the same as children for her?
- Is it because you hate cats? - Why don't you go home?
Is it because your wife likes cats more than you?
- There is that. - Are you saying that's one of the reasons?
- Well... - The cats have stolen my bed.
- Is that so? - Really?
- You could sleep together. - Sleep with the cats?
I see. You hate cats.
I'm not a fan.
Then...
Have you ever kicked the cats out so that you could spend time with your husband?
One of the cats is very sick.
So if he doesn't take his medicine, he could die.
I'm just trying to look after the cat as its owner.
That's why it seems like I care more about the cats.
My husband spends a lot of time outside playing sports.
- My sad emotions are just naturally... - Expressed into them.
- Yes. - Actually,
saying that you don't come home...
- because of the cats doesn't really make any sense. - I agree.
Right now, he's enjoying playing soccer, table tennis, golf and other sports.
I think he's also thinking his wife is going to be fine because she has the cats.
Do you two talk a lot?
I don't think I've talked more than five minutes with her.
We start to quarrel when we talk.
- We don't talk a lot. - You don't have a lot in common.
Is one of the reasons for the fights the golfing?
It's not because of golf. We fight because of something else.
It's when my wife talks about what happened.
It's be like how she got scolded by her senior at work.
When I listen to the story, I agree with the senior.
- My wife gets angry for not taking her side though. - Gosh.
That's the worst thing you could do.
She's not asking you to judge who was right.
She's just telling you because she's having a tough time.
She wants you to console her and and give her a hug.
I just can't do that.
I'm just curious, didn't you two talk when the two of you dated?
When the two of you had decided to get married,
I would imagine the two of you would have talked a lot.
I don't like watching or doing sports.
That's why I was attracted to a man who was good at sports.
Right.
I thought he was so attractive when he played soccer.
I went with him to the games and cheered him on.
- I started to reach my limit though. - Because it became a routine.
You were attracted to him because he was good at sports, but...
after marrying him, you realized that's all he does.
He only plays sports.
- He doesn't do anything else. - Well,
after listening to the two of you talk,
you are too emotionless when you talk to your wife.
I'm beginning to suspect that your love for her has cooled down.
Is there anything you were disappointed with that you haven't told her?
- There might be because they don't talk. - It's like,
you are struggling with something.
There was one incident that really disappointed me.
- You mean with your wife? - The wife?
- Yes. - What happened?
- She told you that the oldest cat is sick, right? - Yes.
She cried a lot when she found out the first time.
- Your wife? - Yes, my wife.
- She cried so much. - Yes.
We found out about a year ago that my father was very ill. We heard it together.
Her facial expressions were less sad than when she found out about my father.
I kept thinking, "Is the cat more important than my father?"
I was really disappointed with her about that.
My dislike for the cats grew stronger after that.
Did you know about how your husband felt?
- Is this true? - I started raising the cat...
when I had no common sense.
So, the cat caught a rare disease because of me.
- I felt responsible. - You felt bad.
I thought I was responsible for killing him.
Who wouldn't feel sad when they hear that their father-in-law is sick?
- I'm his daughter-in-law... - Right, he's family.
and he's ill.
So, I also wanted to help...
and look after my father-in-law.
My husband was very sad. He cried a lot but...
he still went to play screen golf.
- What's going on? - He shouldn't be criticizing me about this.
I felt so frustrated that I didn't want to stay at home.
It was a very stressful time for me. I couldn't sleep.
I wanted to present grandchildren to my father, but...
I haven't been able to do that.
When you play screen golf,
you're concentrating so much, you don't think about anything.
You should have shared all of this with your wife.
That's how the bonds within married couples grow stronger.
You keep trying to avoid this.
These incidents keep happening because you try to avoid talking with your wife.
You have to be more supportive to your parents...
- so that way your wife can follow your lead. - Right.
"I don't want to think about it. I should have done more for my father."
"Let's forget everything and play golf."
- You're doing the same thing. - That's true.
Ask anyone on the street, they will tell you the same thing.
Some people express their emotions like this...
and other people hide their emotions.
She doesn't have to express her sadness the same way.
In my opinion, when they talk...
both of them do not approach the topic directly.
Both of you spin what you're trying to say. You don't say what you mean.
Even though we are married, we don't have time to see each other.
I sometimes wonder if he really is my husband.
I feel closed in when I'm with her.
I don't think I've talked more than five minutes with her.
You can raise cats, I'll go outside and play sports.
I feel like the two of you are just criticizing each other.
If there is anything you would really like to say to your husband, say it now.
In a blink of an eye,
- it's already been five years since I got married. - That happens.
I don't have kids,
- so it doesn't really feel like I got married. - Right.
People around me are curious why I don't have kids yet.
- That's stressful, right? - Yes, I want kids now.
So, I want to try and work on that but he's always coming home late.
When I'm sleeping, he comes back and it's already the middle of the night.
He taps me and wakes me up, but he smells of cigarettes.
If he really loves me and wants a baby,
then he should decrease the hours he plays and cut back on smoking.
It makes me think he is very cold.
Did you know your wife's feelings? Did you know she wanted a child?
My wife keeps saying we don't have a child...
because of golf and smoking.
I tell her it's because of the cats.
- Give the cats to someone else. Are the cats some mythical creature?
They sense it and and leave when they need to.
You can trust me on this since I am an expert on animals.
Right.
You are very convincing.
Are you saying you want to send the cats to another home?
That's what I feel inside but if I tell her I want to get rid of it,
I'm afraid she'll tell me to quit golf so I haven't been able to say it.
- That darn golf! - Do you like golf that much?
Don't you want children?
Of course I also want children.
Do you not make efforts toward it?
To be honest, we haven't been doing it nowadays since I go home into the morning.
You need to cut back on the golf then.
If you're going to be a father,
there are really tons of things you must give up.
Be honest. Right now, between children and golf, which would you choose?
(I trust in you, my dear!)
To be honest, right now I want to enjoy my hobby for a longer time.
I want to enjoy my hobby for a longer time.
(This is really unacceptable.)
How much longer do you want to play golf for?
I'd like to keep playing for 2 or 3 years.
(This is really making me heat up.)
What made you decide to get married to her?
I liked soccer games so much, and in the beginning...
she came with me to those game so much.
I married her because I thought she'd come with me a lot even in marriage.
- That was the only reason? - Of course, I liked her a bit as well.
- That's what I liked so much about her. - You only liked her a bit?
If so, from your point of view,
you must think your wife changed after getting married.
Is that what you think?
Yes, she changed so much.
When I participate in activities for soccer clubs and such,
she almost never comes along.
It's understandable that from his point of view, she seems to have changed. But...
this is the problem.
You also must change.
It's inevitable that people would change. It's so nice only when you're dating.
- It's the same with you. You liked sports a lot, but... - You must be honest.
for her sake you need to change and like it less.
That's how two people can meet in the middle.
The gap doesn't seem to be closing so I feel frustrated.
How do you think your husband views you?
I often think I'm like his roommate.
- It's understandable. - I wonder if I'm a doll.
I don't know who I am to him.
- Right. - What if he repeats being like this?
- I even had an extreme thought. - What extreme thought?
I wanted a divorce.
Even though I love him so much,
I'm excluded from everything.
I won't tell him to quit his hobby altogether, but...
I wish I was his first priority.
- You'd say "I won't be bothersome, so don't go today." - Right, you're his wife.
"Have a meal with me today." On those days, he could oblige.
I think everything will be solved if I become his first priority.
What did the husband have in mind coming here?
I came here to clearly show that this is not an issue.
I want to play golf with my heart at ease.
(What did we just hear?)
(He's like an iron wall.)
I think this husband doesn't know the concepts of marriage and household...
- at all right now, right? - Yes.
- Of course. - Marriage is something different.
I don't have much to say about marriage.
- I don't have the right to speak confidently about it. - Yes, you don't.
Right, you don't have the right to. Even though these are polar opposites,
- I really apologize. - Stop hitting me.
Yes, I'm really sorry.
- Why do you keep hitting me here? - Please stay out of talks about marriage.
That's why he was so quiet for this issue.
(Marriage is truly difficult.)
Say what you want to say to your husband.
I won't go so far as telling you to quit.
Let's just decide on one day of the week.
Spend that day entirely on me.
If you spent that day with me, I would...
- Even if it's just one day out of the week? - Yes.
You just want one day out of the week?
- She's asking for just one day. - What is this?
- There's also this. Your husband is mad about... - You're a weekend couple.
how you weren't shocked at all by your father-in-law being ill.
When you hear about something that happened to your in-laws,
- you need to go a little overboard with the reaction. - Right. Say it.
- Say how sad you were. - You'd hold this,
and then say, "Your father is ill?"
(What did you say?)
What now?
(He's hopeless.)
- Tell us what you really felt.. - Say what you felt then.
- He still has lingering feelings of being hurt. - Tell him.
I want to treat my father-in-law well.
- Of course. - I don't know how much longer your father will be with us.
I am also anxious, worried, and scared.
I wish your misunderstanding from my reaction...
would be resolved now.
- Do you understand her heart now? - Yes, I do.
Right.
Okay, then. We'll go ahead with the guests.
We'll vote now.
I think she's very lonely.
I felt so frustrated while listening to this story.
- That's why I think it's an issue. - You think it's an issue.
- What about Jeon Yu-seong? - Without a doubt, it's an issue.
The man is not changing his attitude at all.
I think his ways are too extreme so it's an issue.
If you think it's an issue for our guest, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- Stop in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. It's over now! - Stop it!
- A ton of people pressed the button. - They really did.
The misunderstanding is now resolved.
The husband must also show how he changed.
Let's find something we can do together.
Let's look for a hobby or a sport we can do together.
First say how much you'll cut down on the golf.
- Tell us in more specific details. - With the golf, in a week...
I'll just play three times by playing on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.
I'll make effort into keeping the promise I just made.
Could you also say how much you love her?
Do you have anything to say about having children?
- Pororo... - I'll say it for you at home.
You'll say it at home? Say it here where we can hear you!
- Right! - You're not going to say you love her or anything?
I've never once told her that I love her.
(Still, tell her!)
- Say in front of many people that you love her. - That's what a man should do.
This makes me nervous.
Chae-hee, I love you.
Wow!
(Squealing)
Do you feel awkward? Do you like it?
You like it and also feel awkward?
- I think she'll have her eyes wide open until they do it. - How do you feel?
- She's acting like this. - I feel very envious.
Please show us the results.
This is for "My Husband Was Stolen"!
Did they get 166 votes?
Maybe they got 116 votes.
(Will this be their 1st victory with 166 votes?)
What did they get?
(This is a twist!)
Wow!
What did they get?
(Oh, I'm done for.)
The husband is crying!
- It's because he can't play golf next week. - Go and play.
Go quickly and play a lot.
With this, the couple of "My Husband Was Stolen" sits on the winner's seat.
The winner changed from "The Worst Guy In My Life" to "My Husband Was Stolen."
What would I do in her place? Please try to imagine yourself in her place.
"Hello. I'm a 24-year-old female college student in Chuncheon."
"Every day, my mom prepares fresh ingredients."
"Every day, she always cooks all three meals for me."
"'My daughter! For today's breakfast,'"
"'here is kimbap in your mom's style.'"
- "'It looks tasty, right?'" - That must be tasty.
"It's the same when I go to school."
"'My daughter, don't eat out for lunch.'"
"'Here is kimbap in your mom's style. Take it.'"
- It's kimbap again? - This makes me a little nervous.
"When I go home for dinner,"
"it's "My daughter, today's dinner is kimbap in your mom's style.'"
- Is this for real? - That darn kimbap!
Have you ever tried eating kimbap for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
I ate kimbap for all three meals for...
a whole year.
It was for a whole year!
- All I ate was kimbap. I'm serious! - Really?
Did she do that on purpose to appear on Hello?
- It was for a whole year. - She prepared this for a year.
"There's a bigger problem though."
"'Mom! What did you put in this kimbap?'"
"'Why? Is it because it's so delicious?'"
"'Your mom made a special sauce and put it in.'"
"'Have another roll, my dear!'"
"Almost every kimbap is delicious, right?
- Right, it can't be not delicious. - "My mom's kimbap, however,"
"tastes absolutely terrible. I know I shouldn't say it but it is."
"My mom makes such kimbap..."
"in batches of 20 rolls each time."
"The number of kimbap rolls I've eaten so far..."
(He pauses.)
"is a 1,000 rolls."
- It would be if you had 3 rolls per day. - Right, if it's 3 rolls per day...
- Just three per day would be... - "Even hearing 'Kim' makes me..."
"feel like I will hurl."
"My mom is rolling up kimbap once again today."
"Please somebody stop her."
This is a true story? She ate only kimbap for a year?
What do you think about the story, sir?
It sounds like it was a torture.
- This would be a torture. - It's like the movie "Old Boy."
- It's like "Old Boy." - For me, even if it's the world's most delicious dish,
- I can't have it for three meals per day for a year. - Does her mom also eat it?
- What if her mom doesn't eat it? - That'd be scary.
Her mom doesn't eat it but hands it over saying, "Eat this."
I think once the person come out and we'll ask those kinds of questions.
Please come out!
(Who is sick of her mom's kimbap from eating it for a year?)
(Jo Jeong-Jin)
(What is this?)
(Are her shoes very adhesive?)
I think it's the second time someone walked down the slide.
- Your pants look like kimbap. - Exactly!
Her pants are like kimbap!
- It's an unfinished roll. - The colors of these pants...
Please roll it well
I really hate that song.
I hate the word "kimbap."
(How much do you hate it? She hates it.)
You don't like it? She really hates it.
It seems impossible that you ate kimbap for every meal for a year.
I honestly ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...
only kimbap for all three meals.
Does she also give you kimbap as a midnight snack?
She does sometimes give kimbap as a midnight snack.
- It's because she rolls kimbaps all day. - If so,
when you're sick she could give you porridge or something.
- In those cases, mom says because I ate out... - Porridge?
and had food with bad artificial flavors, I'm sick.
- She then tells me to eat healthy kimbap of mom's style. - It's kimbap again?
- It's kimbap even when you're sick. - It's a prescription.
- Then you can just not eat it. - Right.
- Just don't eat it then. - When I go to the kitchen after waking up,
mom already rolled up all the kimbap and piled them up.
When I say, "Mom, can I just not eat kimbap?"
Mom says, "Why won't you eat the kimbap I put so much care into making?"
- She gets very sad, asking why I won't eat. - She must put a ton of care into it.
She also gets very angry, and so I...
Why does your mom only make kimbap?
I also don't really know. My mom,
when she gets into any food item even other than kimbap,
she eats only that.
Before I only ate kimbap for a year,
- she only made chicken for six months. - Did you order in the chicken?
- You mean for all three meals? - No, she made it.
- She made it at home. - Really?
- That would be delicious. - Yes.
That's too much.
The whole house smelled like fried food.
- She fried chicken for 6 months. - She did that for 6 months.
We've had on Hello people who only ate one food.
- We also had someone who only ate sweet potatoes. - That's right.
I would say kimbap would be the best among them.
- You wouldn't get sick of it as quickly. - Right.
Even if you can't cook, you can make kimbap.
You just need to roll rice on seaweed, right?
Yes, that also depends on the kimbap.
My mom's kimbap doesn't taste that good.
- What does she put in it? - What ingredients does she put in?
- Isn't that strange? - It's hard to make a kimbap that doesn't taste good.
- The audience will agree with me. - Did you get sick of it?
She adds a lot of strange ingredients.
She has tremendous pride about her cooking.
She can't accept the fact that it might not taste good.
What was the strangest kimbap that she made for you.
- She's added pork rind and chicken feet. - She's added that?
It didn't taste good and it was a weird combination.
- Once she even added apples. - Apples?
- Apples? - People normally eat fruit after a meal.
- She wanted to combine it in one meal. - It was strange to eat that.
- Well, - It feels like she doesn't like her daughter.
let's first talk with the mother who fed her daughter...
- kimbap for one year. - I hope there was a reason for that.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Who is the mother who fed her daughter kimbap for one year?)
- Ma'am. - Yes?
You look like someone who would be a good cook.
- She really does. - Yes.
- Thank you. - She looks like she'd be good at making duruchigi.
(She looks like a good restaurant cook.)
- I'm better at making kimbap. - Is that so?
- You believe that you are good at making it. - Of course.
Why do you only make her kimbap?
I didn't really have a lot of interest in cooking at the beginning, but...
after moving to Chuncheon six years ago,
I worked part-time a lot in restaurants.
While working part-time, I grew dissatisfied with the kimbap choices.
I started to experiment and make kimbap at home.
I gave it to the people I knew and they loved it.
I could never forget the happy expressions.
So, I kept making kimbap.
Did the people who ate it dislike the kimbap?
No, they enjoyed it.
- They asked me where I had bought the kimbap from. - It was that good?
Did they like kimbap with pork rinds as well?
Well, that one was...
To be honest,
I think the mother has a right to be proud of her kimbap making ability.
If your daughter is sick though,
isn't it strange to feed her kimbap?
- If she had an upset stomach, what would you give her? - Kimbap?
Put digestive medicine into the kimbap.
Kimbap is a food that is good for you,
so I'll use the kimbap to solve her upset stomach.
You can make her porridge.
A kimbap porridge?
- Excuse me? - It was "kimbap porridge."
- No, that's not it. - She's so stubborn.
You must have had an interview with one of our scriptwriters.
I heard that you also ate a kimbap with rockfish sashimi?
How did she make that one?
I like seafood a lot.
I told my mom that I wanted to eat sashimi.
She told me that she had bought sashimi.
I was wondering what the special occasion was.
My mother added the rockfish sashimi into the kimbap.
I didn't mean to make rockfish sashimi kimbap.
The sashimi was in front of me.
- She's so stubborn. - I wanted to try it with kimbap.
I don't just add one ingredient.
I put in other ingredients that would compliment the flavor.
- You added rockfish sashimi... - I also added horseradish,
red chili paste with vinegar and this is...
the most important ingredient. I shouldn't tell you but...
it's something called victory onion.
- That's expensive. - It's really tasty.
Other people told me that it tasted fine.
How did you find it? The mother loved it but what about the daughter?
- It was slippery. - It was slippery and I spat it out in the bathroom.
All right, what about the apple? What about the kimbap with apples in it?
What other ingredients did you put in it?
- You added apples. - It was a cheese, apple, and anchovy kimbap.
Normally you would add chungyang red peppers...
- to the anchovies... - A cheese, apple and anchovy kimbap?
- Yes. - What's that?
- Hold on. - Could you stop for a moment?
- Did you say cheese, apple, and anchovy kimbap? - Cheese and apples...
- Let's hear how she made it. - Apologize right now.
On top of the seaweed, you add rice and...
then apples. What goes next?
- I put cheese. I cut the cheese into a shape of the apple pieces. - What goes next?
- Cheese and anchovies both have a lot of calcium, right? - Yes.
- I add those two ingredients for calcium.- Okay.
When you said anchovies, you meant stir-fried anchovies, right?
Yes, it's stir-fried anchovies but it's not stir-fried the normal way.
- I cook it so that the ingredient compliments the apple. - How?
What I mean is that I cook it so the ingredient is sour.
- Does that mean you add vinegar? - Do you add vinegar?
No, I have my own secret sauce that makes the ingredient taste sour.
- Can't you tell us what it is? - It's a special sauce.
- Is it a secret? - Yes.
Could you tell us all the different kinds of kimbaps you have made so far?
- I've made dak galbi kimbap and chicken breast salad kimbap, - That sounds good.
and also sundae liver kimbap.
- Excuse me? - Did you say sundae liver kimbap?
- Yes, I've also made chicken amnion kimbap. - Sundae...
- What did you say? - Chicken amnion kimbap.
- Chicken gizzards. - I see.
- That sounds strange. - I've also made chicken feet kimbap.
Pork rind kimbap is just an ordinary kimbap filling.
I've also tried putting dried herring.
- Dried herring? - Did you say dried herring?
- That's going too far. - It's a food you eat with seaweed.
- Right, you do eat it with seaweed. - Yes.
- I also have tried putting in dried fish. - Do you mean dried fish like mackerel?
Yes, dried fish are the anchovies' friends, right?
- Are they friends? - Do the two of them get along?
- Yes. - I don't think the flavors will compliment each other.
I'm trying to make the kimbap ingredients compliment each other.
I'm trying to put the ingredients that like one another together.
- It's a club. - The anchovy is...
(Could you please stop?)
Let's ask how the other family members feel about this. Let's ask the husband.
- Yes, hello. - Hello.
(Jeong-jin's father)
He probably looks exhausted because he has only eaten kimbap.
Do you also only eat kimbap?
- I'm not at home because I work a lot. - I see.
- I actually look forward to a home cooked meal. - Right.
When I come home, I'd like to have a jjigae and a shot of soju.
- Exactly. - That's the best, right?
My wife, however,
only makes me kimbap.
I survived a year on that.
Imagine how hard it must have been for my daughter.
I think this is a serious issue.
Be honest and tell us what you think of the taste.
You mean the kimbap?
Yes, the kimbap that your wife made.
Are your wife's kimbaps tasty?
- Be honest. - Sir, put up your hand and tell us.
(Well)
That means it's not that good.
- If you only ask me about the taste, - Don't start a fight.
it puts me in a difficult position.
(Let's talk about this at home.)
Who are the people next to your parents?
- She's my friend from school. - They're the ones who've tasted the kimbap.
- You mean the friend. - Friend...
- Yes. - She'd give an objective evaluation.
- Friends can be objective. - Right.
Well, I'm attending the same university as her.
Her mom sometimes brought kimbap to school.
What kind of kimbap did she bring?
I don't know what was inside it.
- You don't know what you ate? - Yes.
I couldn't tell what was inside when I looked at it.
I tasted it. The first bite was okay, but...
after the second and third one,
- it was hard to swallow. - Why was it so hard to eat?
Was it too watery? Did it smell fishy? Or was it too salty?
- What exactly is the problem? - It's always different but...
it feels like she's put in all the side dishes in the fridge.
- Is that so? - What about the appearance? If she's made a lot, then...
wouldn't she have packaged them nicely?
The colors in the kimbap didn't look appealing either.
- It's like a mysterious kimbap. - Yes.
I really don't know what was in it.
From the mother's perspective, this can come as quite a shock.
No, that can't be right. Do my family members really think about it like that?
- The mother looks angry. - She looks angry.
She might really be hurt by all of this.
Also, when you give people food, they would say it's tasty.
People wouldn't say it's not tasty to the person.
- They can't say that. - That's why I watch their expressions as they eat.
People would say it's delicious,
so you have to look at the expression to find the truth.
Do you know how they do it? When they eat in front of you,
they'll think to themselves, "That person is watching me eat."
The people who eat are hiding their true feelings.
Ma'am, you must have watched your husband eating it.
- Did you think he enjoyed it? - I thought he was eating it because he had to.
- He looked like that when he ate it? - Well,
Na-mi do you know how to cook?
Since I live alone, I add chicken...
- to the rice and make fried rice. - That would be tasty.
- Yes, it is. - When you cook something and the person who ate it...
has an expression that is slightly disappointing, then you stop cooking, right?
So is there a reason why you continue to make kimbap,
even though people don't seem to like it? Could you tell us honestly?
It didn't start off like that at the beginning, but...
since I continued to do it, I thought about selling it.
I thought about selling it.
(Selling?)
- I want to open a kimbap house. - I see,
that's why you wouldn't tell us the ingredients to the secret sauce.
Kimbap has become my happiness in my life.
I could describe it as that.
With kimbap, balance is really important.
The balance has to be just right for the kimbap to taste good.
I'm still experimenting with kimbap at this stage,
so I'm trying to continue to improve.
I believe that no one has a bigger pride at making kimbap.
She is a very earnest person.
She also does a lot of research on kimbap.
There are 100 recipes? Are these all kimbap recipes?
- That's from all her hard work. - Her dedication is incredible.
She even drew illustrations.
If you look here,
it describes how the ingredients should be placed.
It's like a cross-sectional view.
- It's like a cross-sectional view. - The secret sauce might be in here.
- I'm looking for it. - Look for the sauce.
- "Nice Chicken." - "Nice Chicken." She also has names for each kimbap.
I haven't decided on all the names but I am still experimenting.
- She's experimenting like this. - After looking at this,
the kimbap recipes are amazing but so is her mindset.
"Today I learned the difference between someone who only prepares for today..."
"and the person who prepares for tomorrow."
"They cannot be the same."
"You must forget yesterday's sorrows and learn to enjoy the moment."
"Wealth is meaningless in front of death."
She's written down her day-to-day feelings.
Looking at this,
the answer to the issues about her mother that the daughter was worried about...
has been written down here.
"With everything you do, as much as the passion you put in..."
"there will be just as many side effects."
That saying applies to you.
- Three meals a day was too much. - It's about you!
- Your passion had side effects. - Your passion for kimbap had side effects.
(Did I really say something like that?)
This is what's dangerous.
Your mom is going to open a kimbap restaurant in the future.
Maybe you sent your story to Hello as a ploy for marketing.
- You may be trying to turn it into an issue. - You mean this is strategic?
- What was it? It was cheese, anchovy... - It's apple, cheese, anchovies kimbap.
Maybe you're here in an attempt to make it a hit.
- You're not here as part of that strategy? - No, that's definitely not true.
It's the opposite. My mom keeps saying she wants to open kimbap business.
- I applied to Hello to stop her. - You want to stop her.
Honestly, it tastes terrible so...
I just couldn't compliment her.
When the mother said she'll open a kimbap business,
the father's face turned more like the color of sea seaweed.
His face completely turned into color of sea seaweed.
Sir, is this the first time you've heard this?
Yes, it's the first time.
To wrap it up, it's just a very difficult situation.
Your kimbap could be tasty, but...
to open a business for it...
- is not an easy thing. - Of course.
- That's why I prepared this in advance. - I'm curious.
We requested her to make the kimbap that she's most confident of.
- That's how we made enough for everyone. - You mean enough for everyone in here?
(Whispering)
We asked her to make them. Please bring out the kimbaps.
(It's three hours before the filming.)
(She brought a ton of ingredients with her.)
(She busily prepares to cook at the TV station's kitchen.)
(There are really interesting ingredients for the kimbap.)
(I will show you the best of kimbap!)
(It's very full.)
Starting with the next roll, please make it a little smaller.
- You want it small? - Yes.
(Her eyes don't know where to look.)
- Make it small? - Please make it so it'll be bite-size.
- This is the small size. - Really?
This is just the right size.
(This is her version of small-sized kimbap.)
(What unimaginable taste will she show us?)
It smells good at least.
- What if it breaks apart? - You have to stick it...
right there. Stick it at the top.
We just have to put a sticker on the one we find tasty, right?
- Shall we begin with number 1? - We'll begin with number 1.
- I'll give you one, sir. - Should I use my chopsticks?
What's in this?
Oh Na-mi, you also try some.
(What's in this?)
- There's some daikon. - First, everyone will try everything.
- Do we put the stickers on after everyone tries? - Don't describe how it tastes.
(What did you put in here, ma'am?)
(I can't tell you.)
(Chewing)
Sir, eat the kimbap of number two.
(The more you chew, the more mysterious it tastes.)
(They'll try number two now.)
(What is this one?)
(He figured it out.)
What could this sauce be?
- Did you eat number 2? - No, I haven't swallowed number 1 yet.
(Now you know how we feel, right?)
We'll move onto number three now.
They all have a trait of being hard to swallow.
- This one is what we talked about! - This is it.
(This taste is none other than that taste.)
This is the anchovy, apple, and cheese kimbap!
This is that one!
She really put in a ton of cheese.
We'll move onto number four now.
We'll taste number four now.
It's number four.
There's a lot of red in this one.
It's a little fishy. It's kind of like a bento side dish.
It'd be difficult to eat for someone who can't eat spicy food.
It'd be weird for even people who like spicy food.
(They will now taste number five, the last kimbap.)
- This one smells like the fridge. - What's in this?
We put the sticker on the one we found most tasty, right?
Yes, put the sticker on the number plate.
Put it on the number plate in front of the dish.
Even though it's spicy...
I put my sticker on.
After they finish eating, they each cast one vote.
- I put my sticker on. - You did?
(Which kimbap will win first place?)
Number 3 received 1 vote.
Number 1 received 1 vote.
Number four,
- the kimbap that was a little spicy, received 4 votes. - There were 4 votes.
(What are the ingredients for number four?)
Who put this sticker on here?
Who put the sticker for number one?
- I did. - You did?
You really found number one delicious?
The first one was easy to swallow.
I couldn't distinguish the tastes anymore once I moved onto the others.
I could only distinguish whether something's spicy or not.
- That's why I chose it. - What about people who chose number four? How was it?
- I didn't put a sticker on that. - I tend to like spicy things.
- Something isn't tasty just because it's spicy. - Right.
The spiciness went well with the other ingredients.
It felt like there was a good harmony. Even the last taste was good.
It tasted very neat. The spiciness...
stimulated my tongue in such a way.
(What? You found that tasty?)
It's not that the rest of these kimbaps taste terrible.
- They just have an undecipherable taste. - We can't tell what they are.
This one, however, is spicy and...
- it also had just the right amount of rice. - I don't like spicy things, and...
I put the sticker on number three because as soon as I ate it,
I thought, "Right, this is that kimbap!"
This is the apple, cheese, and anchovy kimbap!
I just felt so happy to taste it.
It's a little sweet and also tasty.
- Ma'am... - That kimbap tastes good for people in their 60s.
- you remember which kimbap this is, right? - Yes.
- It's fried loach kimbap. - What? It's fried loach?
- These are loaches! - I see! That's why I felt a bone when I was eating it.
- What about number two? - It did taste a little bitter.
- I think that one has chicken feet. - That's correct.
- Really? - That's correct. Even though I kept chewing, it was the same.
That's why I couldn't tell if it's chicken skin or chicken feet.
- It stayed in our mouths even though we kept chewing, right? - Yes.
- Yes, it did. - This one had chicken feet.
- This is the 1 with cheese. - The 3rd one is that famous...
apple, cheese, and anchovy kimbap.
What is number five?
- That one has chicken breasts. - I see. That's why that's the one that's most okay.
- It was second best for me. - Actually,
kimbap of number four...
is something our staff bought from a store.
- Really? - Is that so?
- She didn't make this one? - Yes.
- Kimbap of number four... - No wonder it tasted so good!
(Ma'am, you try it yourself!)
That's why the level of pressure...
It's not the one you made. Try it now.
I thought this kimbap tasted familiar!
- It's delicious. - She says it's delicious.
Even in a glance, we can tell the amounts of rice is different.
The daughter should try one.
Try it. Seriously, just try it.
- It's really tasty. - It really is.
Savor it. Savor the kimbap your mom didn't make.
- What kimbap is this? The spiciness is really good. - How does it taste?
- You like spicy things, I see. - It's different from what your mom makes, right?
(He's hungry.)
(I also want to taste it!)
Is there anyone who wants to try the fried loach kimbap?
Try it.
Please send it over to that person. Try eating it.
- He's refusing to eat it. - He's trying to not eat it!
- Just try it. - It's tasty.
What about chicken feet kimbap?
Come forward and then eat it.
- Take them all. - What about apple, cheese, and anchovy kimbap?
Wow, this is the most popular one!
Here is apple, cheese, and anchovy kimbap!
- It's the apple, cheese... - Each person take one.
What about the chicken feet kimbap?
- Who wants chicken feet? - Here is apple, cheese,
- and anchovy kimbap. - The chicken breast kimbap is over here.
- Here's the chicken breast kimbap. - The apple, cheese, and anchovy...
- Who wants the mother's chicken breast kimbap? - Who wants chicken feet?
- Ma'am, have one more. - The apple, cheese, and anchovy kimbap is most popular.
- Ma'am, look at your daughter! She's eating kimbap. - Yes?
(Oh no! I've been caught!)
It's a popular kimbap in the market.
Raise your hand if you honestly tried the fried loach kimbap.
Be honest. With the fried loach kimbap,
keep your hands raised if you think she could turn it into a business.
- Keep your hands raised. - Everyone brought their hands down.
What about apple, cheese, and anchovy kimbap?
Raise your hand and stay still if you think that can be turned into a business.
- It's tasty, but... - There's one person!
- Ma'am, look! There's this one person! - Thank you.
- Thank you. - There's one person!
- Thank you. - It's actually...
What about chicken breast kimbap? Who thinks it could be turned into a business?
- Raise your hands. - Raise your hand in 1, 2, and 3!
- See? There are many for the chicken breast kimbap. - There are many.
- Wait! - That was also the second most delicious one for me.
I'll cause these people to lower their hands again.
- I'll feed you a popular kimbap from the market. - Give me one!
Yes, just one moment. Raise your hand if you want chicken breast kimbap.
- You said it could be turned into a business, right? - Yes.
Try it and then make your evaluation.
You can't be fooled by the spicy taste, okay?
She put in her word.
What will you do with your raised hand.
(The guest's mother suffers defeat.)
Actually, it's not that they taste terrible.
I can taste in them the care you put into making them.
I don't know if it's tasty enough to run a business.
I think it's not at that level. I bet that's what your family thought as well.
Since I'm a senior at the university,
I get stressed about job searching and even when I want to talk with her about it,
my mom just tells me that if I'm worried about getting a job,
I should just help her out when she runs a kimbap business.
She's been making kimbap ever since a year ago.
I feel like I became less important to her while kimbap is her priority.
That's why I'm worried we won't have good conversations from now on.
- You mean whenever you talk with her, it always end with kimbap. - Yes.
That's why I used to check myself in intervals of three months.
Should I stop after three months?
Should I stop after six months? It's been a year and a month now.
In a way, I also don't know if I could keep doing this.
If my daughter and my husband had a hard time because of kimbap,
and they hate how I keep experimenting with it,
then I will no longer give kimbap to these two.
- My plan is to just eat it myself while continuing with this. - That's right.
(She'll do it by herself without bothering her family.)
Lastly, please say what you want to tell your mom.
I just want to eat white rice with kimchi on top.
- That's what I really want to eat. - That's a very tiny dream.
I've been only opposing you all this time.
I will lessen the amount of hurtful things I say.
I wish mom would also lessen the amount of kimbap.
(Mom, please also less the amount of kimbap!)
We'll start with Oh Na-mi.
I think it's an issue.
If you really like cooking,
you should cook other things as well.
You should make kimbap for your family just once in a while.
That's how that kimbap would taste great. That's what I think.
- I think it's an issue. I still think that. - Please press the button.
- Yes. - It's a circle.
- There may be 100 votes. - If you think it's an issue...
for our guest, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
Stop in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop voting now!
Please say something to your daughter.
My daughter really likes traditional Korean cuisine.
She likes things like doenjang jjigae and cheonggukjang.
She likes green onion kimchi as well. She likes things like that.
I haven't made things like that for her...
I think in about 3 or 4 years.
You see, I'm also confident about other dishes.
- I'll make many tasty dishes for her from now on. - She says she will.
Thank you.
Let's see how many people think this is definitely an issue.
Please show us the result.
The last numeral is seven.
Will it be over 100 votes?
- It went over 100! - It's over 100.
- It must be 107 votes. - Out of 200 votes in total,
she received 107 votes.
(She was disqualified.)
The title is, "Our Household's Time Bomb."
"Hello. I feel that my home is the most uncomfortable place in the world."
"I'm a 22-year-old woman."
- She finds her home the most uncomfortable? - The home is the most uncomfortable?
"It's all because of my sister, a sophomore in high school, who's so sensitive."
"My younger sister is especially so sensitive about her laundry."
"She launders just her clothes once a day."
- "She launders them three times in some cases." - Pardon?
- "She uses the washing machine as if she leased it." - What is this?
"I asked that we share the washing machine."
"She replied 'No'."
"'I told you to use it after I'm all done with mine, right?'"
"'Don't touch my laundry! I'm going to kill you!'"
- In the end, I couldn't do my laundry. - Why is she so riled up about laundry?
"Dad had to go to work with dirty clothes for three days."
"If I touch her clothes by accident,"
"she says, 'Are you crazy? Why are you touching another person's clothes?'"
"'You're annoying me. Get out of my way!'"
"It's not like I'm some clump of germs."
"She'd then clean her clothes with a wet tissue."
- "She sprays an air freshener." - Why is she like that?
"I mean, we can at least share a mirror as sisters, right?"
"'Did you use my mirror?'"
"'Why are you touching my belongings?'"
"'Aren't you being too much? Fix your personality.'"
"'How dare you say things like that to me?'"
"'Can you even call yourself an older sister? Get out!'"
(The younger sister just yells more.)
- She nags because she's your older sister. - "In this mood,"
"my family is constantly cautious around my sister."
"'That's enough out of you! That's the story for today.'"
(That's enough out of you!)
We'll have the guest come out now. Please come out!
That's enough out of you!
(Who is the guest with this selfish younger sister?)
(She is Kim Han-sol.)
It's for real!
(Welcome!)
Please introduce yourself.
Hello, I am a 22-year-old Kim Han-sol who came up from Changwon.
Welcome.
Your voice is quite piercing.
So your sister is this sensitive about laundry?
She must think our laundry is dirty.
She separates laundry between her own and the rest of the family.
It's a ratio of 1 person to 3 people.
She does laundry at least once a day.
- She even does laundry three times a day sometimes. - Why does she?
One time, there was a rain shower.
That's why one of my family members took down her dried laundry for her.
- You mean because of rain? - Yes, someone took her clothes down because of that.
She said this as soon as she came home though.
She began with yelling about who took her laundry down.
She said, "Don't you know I hate it when people touch my laundry?"
She says that even when you take it down away from rain?
Yes, so she ultimately washed those clothes again.
That's why I had this thought.
Is her brain different from ordinary people?
Is she just sensitive about underwear or...
I think you're the one that's sensitive about underwear.
No, I am...
- His ears turned red! - That's what I mean.
His ears are really turning red.
- I think you're the one that's sensitive. - That's not it.
- My older brother was strangely very sensitive about underwear. - Stop it already.
No, I mean...
he'd get very annoyed if I wore his underwear, saying that'll make it stretch out.
(If I wear it, it'd stretch out.)
It's because of my thighs.
It's because my thighs are quite thick.
Does she really wipe her clothes with wet tissues and spray an air freshener?
This is why it's such nonsense.
If I even try to pass by her clothes, she always says this.
My clothes are there so be careful. I clearly told you to be careful, okay?
If a person passes by very quickly,
- it could make the clothes shake a little bit, right? - Right.
She'd yell, "I told you to be careful!"
She'd yell, "What are you doing?" She suddenly took out wet tissues and...
began cleaning them and sprayed an air freshener.
Is she like this only to her family or is she like this elsewhere?
I thought she was only like this to the family.
One time, however, our friend was sleeping over at our house.
She came over to our place. My sister looked scary and said this.
She said, "Hey, come over here for a moment."
My friend's coat was on her clothes hanger.
- That could happen. - Yes, however,
she told me to remove it right away.
- She said that when your friend could hear everything? - Yes.
Why does she do this? When did she begin to be like this?
There must be a starting point. Maybe there was a trauma.
- Since when... - From what I know, it's been since her first year of middle school.
- She suddenly became like this in puberty? - Yes.
I think her puberty is just going on for 10 years.
We, as her family, get so much stress from this.
We'll be hearing from her mother before we meet her younger sister.
Hello, ma'am.
- Hello. - She's the mother?
- You're the mother? - We'd believe you if you said you're her older sister.
You're the mother?
(That's incredible! She's so young!)
- That's incredible. You look so young. - You're a beauty.
Are you as concerned about this as your daughter?
Of course it is.
It takes about 2five minutes or 30 minutes from our house to her part-time job.
She realized it looks like it will rain.
So she came home in the middle of her job to take down her laundry.
- In the middle of work? - Yes, in the middle of work.
At another time, it was my mother's birthday.
The distance between Busan and Changwon...
is about three hours as a round-trip.
Even if it would take three hours, she said it looks like it'll rain and...
went back home to take down the laundry.
She can be like that. She's too obsessive.
Why is she obsessive over laundry?
- Have you never asked? I feel like you did. - She used to live with her grandma.
Her grandma had hung up the laundry, but...
she wore the clothes when they were not all dry yet.
Her friend said she smells like doenjang. I think that...
caused a trauma for her. That's what I know as the reason.
It's too extreme that a person would become like this because of doenjang smell.
- That's what I know it to be. - I cannot understand this.
We'll meet the younger sister now.
- Hello. - Hello.
It's nice to meet you.
She looks like a younger brother.
- You're not, right? - You said it's your sister.
- She's your younger sister, right? - Yes, she is.
- She looks boyish and not too picky. - That's what I mean.
You seem like you wouldn't be obsessive. Is everything your sister said all true?
Yes, it's true.
I don't like it when others touch my possessions.
I wish my sister would respect my personality.
Even then,
taking clothes off of the drying rack on a rainy day shouldn't make you mad.
Even when I take down my own laundry, I shower and wash my hands once more.
I shower and wash my hands once more.
That's how I take down my laundry.
Even if she's my family, I don't like it when she touches my laundry.
It's okay to wash your hands since you came back from outside the house.
Why would you even shower just to take down laundry?
There's a sense of satisfaction.
- It's about self-satisfaction. - Really?
What if your older sister showered,
- washed her hands, and then took them down? - No, I don't like that either.
- Really? - The way she washes her body is different from how I wash mine.
Oh, the way is different.
- If so... - How do you wash your body that you'd say that?
- How do you wash yourself? - Then...
what if she uses the shampoo you uses and washes the way you do?
What if she did it exactly as you do and then touched it?
I still wouldn't like it even if she did it in front of my eyes.
- Should they just be left on the drying rack even if it's raining? - Yes.
- The acidic rain is much dirtier, isn't it? - Isn't it worse?
- Is that still cleaner than your older sister? - Yes.
So your older sister is worse than even rain.
- The fine dust is no joke nowadays though. - Exactly!
Does the daughter have a boyfriend by any chance?
No, I don't.
- Have you ever dated one? - I have.
If so, what if the boy you dated touched your clothes like this?
Would you really hate that?
- That wouldn't matter to me. - She must like everyone except her family.
- That wouldn't matter? - Why not?
Why would that not matter?
Family and lovers are two different things.
If so,
why are you so sensitive? You mom said it was the doenjang incident.
What's the reason why you're so sensitive? Be honest.
That really wasn't true. That's just what my mom thinks.
There's a different reason. When I was in my first year of middle school,
I saw my mom fold my laundry since she's the one who did the laundry.
My mom picked her nose though.
- Your mom did? - Yes.
(This is a huge twist in the story.)
Even though she has that pretty face?
That's a lie!
(This is the incident that changed a middle school girl's life forever.)
- Even though she has that pretty face? - It's all her mom's fault!
- This is all because of the mother's snot. - This is so incredible.
It's all because of the mother's snot.
I was so traumatized.
That's when I realized I should not trust my mom with laundry.
- I've been doing my laundry ever since then. - You shouldn't trust your mom?
- Was it because she picked her nose or since something came out? - A mother's snot!
- Something came out and she wiped it off. - It's a lie!
- How can something come out? - Oh, come on!
- How can something come out? - It had a yellow color.
Even so, how could a mother do that on her daughter's laundry?
Have you seen your mom do that even when she does laundry nowadays?
- No, because mom doesn't do laundry. - Who does it then?
- It's my dad. - Their dad must help with housekeeping.
That's a cool dad. In your household, your dad is in charge of laundry?
We'll speak with the dad now. Hello.
- It's nice meet you. - The dad is also good-looking.
- He's handsome. - Sir!
- You're in charge of laundry? - Yes.
We divide household labor so I'm in charge of laundry.
- You're very rational. - When I watch my daughter do laundry,
it's as if she's doing a sacred ritual.
She has her own steps.
- How does she do it? - That's incredible.
When the laundry is done and...
she takes out the laundry, she does this.
Show us. What does your daughter do?
(He'll demonstrate as if the jacket is a piece of laundry.)
- We'll pretend that's laundry. - That's laundry.
- If this is laundry... - Please put a microphone to his lips.
She always picks her clothes up like this.
She picks it up, and...
while sticking her butt out, she shakes it three times.
After she places it on the drying rack,
She cleans her hands again with a wet tissue.
She then makes it line up at the right angle.
- She lines it up to an angle? - Yes. When the angle is perfect,
she then picks up the other laundry and hangs them up.
She even has to hang the clothes at an angle?
Why do you shake it only three times?
It differs according to my mood.
I shake it 5 times on some days and 10 times on other days.
What do you do, kid?
- What do you do? - Why do you stick out your butt?
It's because the clothing might get in contact with me when I'm shaking it.
It's to prevent it from touching you.
That means she doesn't even like her laundry touching her body.
How did you hang the clothes you have on now?
- This one was cleaned at a cleaner's. - It was cleaned at a cleaner's?
- You don't consider that person dirty? - I don't see him doing it though.
It's because you don't see him? What if he's picking his nose?
(Her standards change all the time.)
Sir, if you're in charge of laundry,
you must quarrel with your daughter a lot. She's very sensitive about laundry.
Yes. It's the worst when there's no detergent in the house.
- It's about the detergent? - Wow!
The biggest problem is when we run out of detergent.
Sometimes I forget to buy it because I'm busy.
Then she'd follow me around while repeating, "There's no detergent."
She tends to show anger a lot.
Don't you want to discipline her as her father?
- Don't you want to fix this? - It's because if she's like this as an adult,
many people may find it uncomfortable.
I did scold her because this was getting serious.
She'd change only in that moment and go back to it.
She'd go back to maintaining her own pace.
(She returns to being a time-bomb daughter.)
(Why does she make things so difficult for her family?)
Mirrors are placed at personal spaces, right?
I would look into the mirror at her personal area, and...
there'd be times when I don't hide my crime.
Well, as soon as she got home...
she yelled, "Why are you using my mirror?"
She said, "Don't you know I hate it when you use my things?"
I actually bought that mirror. She still nagged at me about that though.
Why does she say it's her mirror when you bought it?
- It's because she placed it in her area. - She must have a territory.
- What about other things? - While she was washing up,
I took a phone call for her.
- Oh, because the phone call came? - Yes.
I didn't want to take the call for her, but dad...
said I should still take the call because a human being is calling.
She appeared from behind all the sudden and...
said, "Don't you know I hate it when you touch my cellphone?"
"Why are you touching my phone?"
She said that even before the phone call was over.
I became so angry and frustrated in that moment.
I went outside of the house and wept. This happened recently.
- You cried? - You didn't say a single word?
- Yes. - Why do you get so angry from her touching your phone?
That's not something to get angry about because...
First of all, it's my belonging. It should be in my area.
Would you feel okay if some person touches your things without permission?
- Your own sister is "some person"? - Yes, she is.
(I'm "some person"? Yes!)
- Someone was talking on the phone... - I am me.
Then are your parents next to you also "some people"?
Well, they're not me so they are.
- When you were young... - Are you saying it's different from concept of family?
- If she doesn't let others touch her things, - I'm about to go crazy.
- she must also not touch her family members' belongings. - Right.
If she did, I wouldn't have submitted my story to this show.
(What is this?)
(Giggling)
- She wears my clothes whenever she wants. - Really?
She takes your clothes and wears them?
Yes. There are times when she left the house with my clothes on.
That makes me angry so I'd tell her she could've notified me.
- "Why are you wearing my clothes when I told you not to?" - Right.
She'd say, "This could happen. Why are you being like this?"
She'd be kind of sly. That's when fights...
- You're not being consistent. - This would be really frustrating.
I wore it without a thought and I told her I'll wash it for her.
I told her I'd get it dry-cleaned for her.
- She was angry at me for some reason though. - That's not it.
You said before that your sister's clothes are dirty.
(You said it's dirtier than acid rain.)
That's what you said before.
That piece of clothing was clean.
- My goodness. - She keeps going back and forth.
- My head hurts. - You're saying that when you wear her clothes,
you'll wash it or dry-clean it for her before giving it back...
- so be understanding. That's what you're saying. - Right.
Then when she wears your clothing,
she can just wash it and return it to you, right?
That's what I don't like. What I don't like is when people even touch my clothes.
(My sister, you're making me mad!)
(Maybe this is what it feels like to talk to a wall.)
That means you also should not touch your sister's belongings.
I got it.
- What did she say? - She said she understands it.
Why are you like that, Tae-joon? Why are you grabbing your neck?
Is it because it's complicated? Why are you being like that?
This is what's most difficult. From the Hello episodes I've watched,
this saying by Shin Dong-yeob struck me the most.
- He said the person who's not consistent gives everyone a hard time. - Right.
My neck just hurt.
- He was also like this during break. - I'll massage you. Come here, Tae-joon.
No. I knew you'd be like that so I prepared this.
(He brought his own massaging device.)
I brought a massaging device.
- Real hands are best! - Don't be like that.
If I have this right here, the muscles relax.
If I have this, I'm okay.
Is it okay for him to take out things like this on a TV show?
- Am I not allowed to? - This is good.
If we're allowed to just bring things like this, next week I will...
What? Will you bring those shoes with springs?
- Yes, I'll bring them. - I heard you still have those shoes in the closet.
So her logic is "It's okay for me, but..."
"not okay for you." Is there any other instance of this?
Her showers take a really long time.
- It's her showers? - Yes, she showers for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
She showers for 40 minutes to 1 hour.
- That's how long her showers are? - That's not a bath, right?
- It's just her showers. - Since she showers for such a long time,
I had to wash up late. I need to be at work by 11am, but...
I was late by 20 minutes.
Dad also has to wash up to go to work, right?
When he wanted to wash up, even dad...
once had to go to a neighbor's bathroom.
- He went to a neighbor's bathroom? - Yes.
Of course, that neighbor was dad's friend, but...
- it was still too much. - That's so bad.
If so, that neighbor must have...
- known that you were washing at his place because of your daughter. - Yes.
Yes, he knew.
- He didn't say anything? - He's a friend who's very understanding.
- Wow. - Thankfully you have a good neighbor.
- The father is a good person. - How could a shower be for 40 minutes to 1 hour?
Sir, there must be many other discomforts. That's how it seems.
There must be other things you haven't said yet.
Yes. My daughter, after a shower, always...
doesn't get dressed in the bathroom. She gets dressed in the living room.
- You mean after she finishes washing up? - You mean when she's fully naked?
That's why when I'm eating a meal or...
having a conversation with someone and she says,
"Dad, I'm done with my shower," I need to go into a room.
- You mean in the middle of a meal or a chat? - Yes.
There's humidity, right? When I get dressed in the bathroom,
- it feels unclean. - But why the living room? Why not your own room?
It became a habit for me to get dressed in the living room.
That's why when dad is eating a meal, I time it right.
I would end my shower around when he's done eating.
- She was being somewhat considerate. - After you're doing showering,
to feel like you're clean, you must wipe your body and go out to the living room?
- Yes. That's it. - If so,
- you must have had times when you slept over at another house. - Yes, I have.
- Were you like that even in those cases? - Yes.
How? You got dressed in the living room?
(How could she do that?)
You see,
my friend would go around warning her family members.
- Is this for real? - Your friend tells them to go into their rooms?
You are at your friend's place when you took this shower.
- I'm so shocked. - I mean, the older sister,
if it's this bad,
should do something since she's so self-centered.
Have you ever scolded her?
I said, "Even if she's not doing her best towards me,"
- "you shouldn't be like that to our parents. Keep your basic manners." - Right.
I said, "You're really embarrassing me." Every time I say that,
she replies, "This is what I'm comfortable with, okay?"
She tells me to stop bothering her. She says, "What's it got to do with you?"
I do feel like I'm losing my place as her older sister.
Why do you frequently tell your older sister to bug off?
It's not something she should nose into.
Even my parents, who are victims of this, aren't saying anything.
I also don't understand why she'd say this when it's not related to her.
- I also feel flustered. - She's telling you because she's your older sister.
My parents could tell me directly but she's the one. That's why I replied like that.
You don't listen even when your parents talk to you though.
I'll listen even less if it's my sister who says it to me.
- If that's the case... - Then who will you ever listen to?
Where is your logic coming from?
Wait, then who will you ever listen to?
That's what I'm saying.
I don't think there's really anyone.
- Do you only listen when it's yourself that talks? - Yes.
Yes.
Let's fight.
Hey, give me that massaging device.
Give it to me. I'm about to grab the back of my neck.
I need to relieve my stress.
- My goodness! - But in terms of strength,
there is actually this to consider.
Stop over-acting.
If we go by your logic,
maybe you'd be walking down your neighborhood or the street,
and your sister is in a fight or getting hit.
Should you get involved in that or not?
- Of course I do. - Why?
She's my older sister.
That's the same logic.
Sweetie, that's the same logic.
You'd do that because she's your sister, right?
Are there any times when the relationship between the sisters is great?
- Are you always... - She comes to me when she needs something.
- I see. - I'd be in the middle of doing something,
and she'd say, "What are you up to?"
"I'm going home late tonight. Please give a good word for me to our mom."
"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring it home." She acts cute like that.
When she does that, I'd melt away and agree to doing it for her.
I'd give in a good word for her.
- You're nice. - So when I also...
ask her for a favor, she says,
"No, I don't want to. Why do I have to do that for you?"
She's like that when I ask her for a favor.
The household is happy when she's in a good mood.
- When she's annoyed, she expels her anger until she's not. - It's like a war...
- for the whole family then? - Why are you...
nice to your sister only when you need something from her?
Sisters should cooperate to become strong.
(Are we sisters only at times like this?)
- You're self-centered. - If so, the mother...
must be worried that it's not only a problem within the family.
She may keep being self-centered even in society.
Don't you worry about that?
That's what I'm most worried about.
I honestly even thought about having her talk to a psychiatrist at a hospital.
I even thought about that.
Even now, I still think about that.
It's in case this behavior never gets fixed.
- I thought about it seriously. - The child, however, is at an age who'd refuse.
- Right? It's highly likely that she'd be rebellious. - She may be rebellious.
Before she became a high school student, my sister and I...
didn't talk much and we grew apart.
I tried to oblige her most of the time if she wants some clothing or food.
I oblige her for most things, as I mentioned before.
That's why way into the future,
in her friendships or working relationships,
her immovable personal preferences...
may turn them sour. That's what I'm worried about a lot as her older sister.
- You are indeed her older sister. - Did you know she had worries like this?
- I didn't know. - Right.
I'm different in how I am at home and how I am outside.
- Pardon? - There's no reason for me to be annoyed outside of the house.
I'm not sensitive about these things elsewhere.
When I'm home, however, my parents keep bothering me.
That's why I become more annoyed and sensitive.
Has this ever occurred to you?
- You have no problems with your friends outside of home, right? - Yes.
If the way you show anger and annoyances in front of your family...
was carried out towards your friends,
- your friends would think you're weird. - Of course.
Your family, however, can do nothing but just embrace all of it.
Since they are older than you,
you think you can be petulant as much as you want.
You think they won't ever be harsh towards you.
- Maybe you're like this because that's how you think. - This is what it is.
What he said is really correct.
Look! What is your family to you?
They are precious to me. - Right, they are.
Don't you think you're being so rude to people who are precious to you?
I've never thought like that because this is what I was always like.
Right, so if the way you are to your family...
was how you treated your friends,
those friends can just stop meeting you altogether.
Your family, however, are people you can't avoid.
At least value them as much you value your clean laundry.
- Right, love them as much as you love laundry. - Your sister would be jeans.
Your dad is a button-up shirt and your mom is underwear.
Just love them at least that much.
Could you tone down your petulance from now on for the sake of your precious family?
- I can't swear on it, but I'll make the effort. - Swear on it.
Even if these are your habits, think about how many years it's been.
Okay. Say your last words.
There isn't much I want from you.
I just wish, us the family around you,
will be precious to you and that you'd be considerate.
Let's keep our basic manners to our parents at least.
It's really distasteful to see what happens.
I love you.
That's right. I don't know about other things, but...
you can quarrel with your sister...
- to be honest. However, - Right, they're sisters.
You can't be like that to your parents though.
- Your parents brought you into this life. - Right.
- They gave you your existence. - Yes.
Okay, then. What do you think? We'll start with Na-mi.
I'd like to see the younger sister change.
That's why I think it's an issue.
This is what occurred to me while I watched them.
Over there,
I thought she'd be very stubborn.
- When we joked around with her, however, she smiled easily. - She smiled.
- From that, I think this is just a phase. - I agree.
- It's part of growing up? - When this passes,
I think passing time will solve it.
That's why I don't think this is really an issue.
If you think it's an issue for our guest, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
What will it be?
Stop in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Stop! - We'll end now.
Say the last things you want to say to your older sister.
Han-sol!
- She's like a younger brother. - I'm sorry.
I'll work on treating my family better.
You don't love her?
I love you.
- She's cute. - She's like a guy from Gyeongsang Province.
- It was like a man confessing his love. - That was good.
Look at her! The older sister...
is really happy to hear, "I love you."
You adore your sister, right?
She's adorable when she's doing cute things and I'd want to do things for her.
Right. It's a phase that will pass but...
let's see how many votes this story received. Show us!
(Here are the results.)
It's over 100 votes.
- It's over 100 votes. - Maybe they'll win.
Could it be?
(Will it be more than 166 votes and win a victory?)
(That's too bad. It was off by one vote.)
There were many votes though.
With that, "My Husband Was Stolen" wins its first victory!
Congratulations! We'll give you a prize that's worth 1,000 dollars.
(We hope they'll change from now on.)
Until the day we are all issue-free,
- Hello will continue to counsel you. - Thank you!
Thank you for working hard.
(Pardon?)
Are you hear again?
- What is this? - It's standing.
Hey, would I also be able to do this?
If even Cho Sae-ho can do it, it's science.
If not, it's magic.
Here is "Trick and True, the Spoon that Disappeared."
- What has he been up to lately? - What is this?
